Fantastic cheese here in Tassie :D but at a cost. The general supermarket choice is pretty bland and cheap, the local stuff, eg Bruny Island Cheese, Tongola, Grandvewe etc are delicious but pricey.

I do miss the choice available in the UK, especially the French and Italian cheeses but then I do miss lots of foody things from back home :(

Neither of us. We are both pinkos.

We are more like Mike and Neil from the Young Ones.

Shop lifting shouldn't be encouraged.

Funnily enough, the Danish Blue here is cheaper than all the Aussie blues, and it's better.

I get it directly from Calendar Cheese (if you're in Melbourne you may know them and the reputation of Will Studd) at wholesale price through some friends:thumbup:.
Will Studd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Studd) almost singlehandedly got the government to reverse its ban on the importation of roquefort. :D

I might be able to get you in on it if you're really keen. PM me to see if something can be arranged...

I do miss some of the spectacular cheeses to be had from Europe though. Many can be had here but cost big cojones!! I saw a chunk of Papillion Roquefort in a deli in Toombul for $132 yesterday! Couldn't have been bigger than 2 kg, probably less.

Where can I get me some Smegma?

Come on be fair. They may have had to travel to a different suburb.

Yes, I have noticed that the imnported Red Kidney beans from Italy, are much larger, much nicer and much cheaper than the locally grown ones.

Interesting...
